Dreams and Zuckerberg




I had the strangest dream this morning: I was cleaning Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s house. The dream was quite vivid. When I woke, I sat up inside the mosquito net thinking about it for a few minutes; I was quite disoriented. I had this strange feeling that I just traveled back from an alternate universe (too much “Lost”) and was suddenly pulled back into this reality, sort of a multiverse psychic connection..

According to sleep experts dreams are most vivid in the morning which is quite true and could be verified by asking any teen-agers whose hormones are starting to pump testosterone and other libido-promoting substance into their systems (a natural process that's built into our animal system to assure the survival of the human race); times when fantasies and dreams make the teenagers sleep quite troubling and ecstatic; times which had already passed a middle aged human being like me. I am already thinking of Viagra, heheheh.

Anyway, where was I?

So there I was in the dream cleaning Facebook’s founder Mark Zuckerberg’s house. In my dream, Zuckerberg had a house in Midland Subdivision, Cainta, Rizal, Philippines. Midland Homes was a very small subdivision that caters to mostly working class. The place was a little better than our neighborhood. This subdivision was near San Juan Elementary School Unit 1 where I finished my basic education. In the dream, I kept asking myself why did Zuckerberg had a house in this neighborhood? He was famous but he was not rich. I saw him only once i.e. in my dream, Zuckerberg was with another guy, a business partner, or maybe in my dream he was gay or something. His house was so dirty like it was never lived at. Weird really...

Heaven’s why I dreamt that dream when Zuckerberg was one person I was never interested with. I was not and never am his fan though I am Facebook person. Maybe in the other multi-verse or other reality, I am one of Zuckerberg's cleaning guy or something.

Dreams are powerful and according to the philosopher Niethszche, fear generated by dreams is one of reasons why we have this idea of God. Does not necessarily mean I subscribe Nietzsche’s idea. I mean, I don’t want to be misinterpreted as subscribing to an atheist-humanist-existentialist-hairstylist philosophy. I mean, God created the paper tree, Lucifer and Guttenberg for us to enjoy.

Anyway, I was trying to analyze myself; a task I found difficult to do in the morning where my mind was somewhere between waking and sleeping state: Twilight Zone time. Anyway, this is nonsense.

I there fore conclude that I have been watching too much sci-fi, and its now time for me to watch more and more romantic shows so that I could have romantic dreams rather than have these weird dreams.
